Chapter 218 Drinking
Lorenz followed his father, holding the wine.
When he went to Jadney City before, Alston had already married Cynthia. Although he didn’t like this man, because – Cynthia was pregnant not long after, he never found a chance to embarrass Alston.
Now that his father was leading the way, he would follow.
“Alston, you finally came to Coast City. Let’s drink today.
As Lorenz said, he filled the empty glass in front of Alston with wine.
Alston was helpless. Their intentions were too obvious.
Before he came, he learned how he should behave. He knew that men who didn’t smoke or drink were very popular with elders.
Alston thought for a second, wondering if he should pretend to be incapable of drinking.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cynthia looked at Lorenz and her uncle. “Alston’s back was hurt just now, and he shouldn’t drink.”
“Cynthia, a good man must drink. Whether it’s a business negotiation or a variety of banquets, he won’t be taken advantage of if he drinks.”
Grandpa also joined in the fun. “Yes, drink. If your grandma was not here, I would like to try. The wine here is brewed by the chef, and it tastes good.”
Seeing his greedy face, grandma said, “The doctor told you not to drink.”
When the grandfather heard this, his face was full of disappointment.
Alston felt envy in his heart. In the Smith family, this picture would never appear. Everyone had their own thoughts and wanted to plot against others.
“It’s okay, Cynthia. I’m not hurt. I can drink.” Alston said as he picked up the wine glass, and drank the whole glass in one gulp.
This wine was indeed very dense and mellow, with a hint of sweetness. After drinking it, he didn’t feel anything for moment, but within a few seconds, there was a spiciness rushing straight to his throat.
Alston’s face didn’t change at all.
Cynthia’s uncle showed a smile and drank the wine in his hand.
“It’s my turn.” After Cynthia’s uncle finished drinking, Lorenz drank it.
The two drank with Alston one after another. Cynthia looked at them with a worried look on her face. Although she knew that Alston could drink, how could he hold two people?
In the end, Cynthia was overly worried. Both her uncle and Lorenz blushed, and they couldn’t speak very clearly, but Alston’s expression remained normal.
Cynthia’s uncle and Lorenz were defeated. Alston could drink too well. After drinking for so long, he didn’t even feel drunk.
Lorenz’s face was blushed all over, his eyes were moist, and he sat next to Cynthia. “Cynthia, although a man needs to drink, a man who is too good at drinking must be an alcoholic and unreliable.”
Alston, who was sitting on the other side of Cynthia, was speechless. Was it okay to say bad things about him in front of him?
When Cynthia looked towards Alston, Alston lost his calm look in an instant, his face flushed, and his eyes showed a hint of confusion and ignorance.
“Alston doesn’t usually drink much, and he is also drunk.”
As Lorenz followed her gaze and saw Alston’s face full of drunkenness, he gritted his teeth. Alston pretended to be drunk and wanted Cynthia to sympathize.
He leaned closer to Cynthia’s ear again and whispered. “He is drunk with a few drinks. Alston is too weak.”
Alston, who was pretending to be drunk, felt helpless.
He didn’t know if he should be drunk or not. Lorenz was too difficult to deal with. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When they returned to the Green family, it was getting late. Grandpa and grandma went to sleep. Uncle and Lorenz were drunk and were helped back to the room by Cynthia’s aunt. After the two babies were settled, Cynthia dragged Alston back to the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Cynthia saw that the drunkenness in Alston’s eyes had completely dissipated. She snorted. “I knew you were not drunk.”
Alston rubbed his nose. “I think I’m pretending well.”
His drunk look made her want to bully him.
“I’ve been with you for so long. I know how much you can drink.” Cynthia said, pushing Alston onto the bed.
Alston’s body fell into the soft quilt, and a trace of blush flew across his face. “Cynthia, even if you are in a hurry, let me wash up first. We have plenty of time.”
Cynthia’s cheeks were hot, and she looked at him with a hint of charm.
When Alston saw her beautiful appearance, there was a strong desire in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat her.
“Alston, we have a business to do now.” Cynthia’s voice was serious.
“What?” Alston looked confused.
Cynthia stepped forward and unbuttoned his shirt. “Let me see the injury on your back.”
Alston held down her hand subconsciously. “It’s okay. It’s just a scratch.’
“You are lying.” Cynthia felt aggrieved. “I will feel at ease when I see it, otherwise I won’t even be able to sleep tonight.”
Alston lay down obediently and let her take off his clothes.
Alston was wearing a black suit jacket, and she couldn’t see anything on the outside, but when she took off the jacket, she could see that the shirt was stained with blood that had dried Cynthia looked at the dirty shirt and her heart skipped a beat.
When she took off the clothes, her hands were trembling. She was very light and careful, but Alston trembled in pain because the shirt was sticking to the flesh.
Cynthia hurriedly leaned closer. “Does it hurt?”
Alston was lying on the soft mattress, feeling a warm wind gliding over the wound. He said with a hoarse voice, “It doesn’t hurt.”
“You are still lying!” Cynthia was a little annoyed. The injury was serious. How could it not hurt?
Alston didn’t speak, afraid of making her angry, and the whole room was extremely quiet.
Because the clothes on the back were not easy to take off, Cynthia took the medicine box and scissors, slowly cut the clothes, and cleaned up the clothes fragments on the wound.
His back was very strong, and the muscles were beautiful. There was a large area of abrasions on his skin, and blood oozed out in some places. It was shocking.
“Look, I told you, it’s just a scratch.
Alston chuckled, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Cynthia glared at him. “There are so many injuries on the back.”
Alston closed his mouth.
“Why didn’t you tell me? You drank so much wine.” Cynthia was very distressed.
Alston smiled and slowly closed his eyes. “Your uncle and cousin wanted to drink. How can I embarrass you?”
Cynthia was angry. She carefully cleaned up the dirt on the wound with iodophor and sprinkled it with medicine powder. She didn’t bandage it.
“You can only sleep on your stomach. Don’t press the wound. I’ll get you some water and wipe your body. Your wound can’t get wet.”
Cynthia went to the bathroom, fetched a basin of water, and prepared to wipe him.
Alston wanted to take the towel. “Let me do it…”
Cynthia glanced at him, and he sat obediently, letting her wipe his back.
If people in his company saw him like this, they would be shocked.
Cynthia carefully and patiently helped him wipe his face and hands, which reminded Alston when his legs were not healed, she did the same, wiping his body and massaging his legs.
It had been almost two years, but Cynthia didn’t change at all.
